Liebherr expands in Miami

Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Austrian crane manufacturer Liebherr has opened a new $20 million sales and service center in Miami off Okeechobee and the Florida Turnpike.
It will serve as a major hub for Liebherr’s maritime cranes division and further strengthen its business relations to Central and South America and the Caribbean regions, said Gernot Schranz, president of Liebherr Nenzing Crane Co.
Liebherr called the 430,000-square-foot property ideal, stating the port of Miami and Miami International Airport are in close proximity. “This allows Liebherr to respond to customer enquiries within a short time and to accelerate the distribution of parts and services,” the company said.
For serving greater Miami, the Fort Lauderdale area and the surrounding ports, service personnel have six service trucks.
